Ceal.: Introduction.
The forest zipped past like a deer running away from a wolf, while Mark heart was slamming into his chest as the fear sent chills down his spin and made his skin cold. He looked everywhere, like a cornered animal searching for his unseen foe, As he ran as fast as his body would allow him to go. Feeling the fear pump thru his veins a sharp pain erupted from his ankle and sent his body flying into a sharp bush and tumbling down into a thicker part of the forest before he entered a small circular clearing. Mark looked around at the clearing, noticing the fog behind the trees he could barely see in front of him, mark gasped at a sharp pain and felt his leg where he felt hot blood leak thru his ankle, and noticed his bone sticking out of the large gash. He tried to get up but he popped his knee out of place and tripped on himself and smacked his face on a rock. Gasping, mark looked up slowly and felt the large goose egg forming on his cheek. Breathing hard Mark felt the ground by his feet slowly turn to frost, while noticing the trees turn white from the snow. Shivering mark felt an increasingly sick feeling creep up on him to the point where he needed to vomit. Gagging and hacking up air Mark heard a dark whispered voice hissing in the back of his conscience whispered: "A soul for a soul is the price, let those who end other's be taken to my birth, to work is there life, so say's the gods"
The dark voice slammed at his conciseness making Mark hear his evil whispered voice: "Jess… Jessica… Where.." The voice getting angrier and putting more pressure on Marks conciseness " You stole her. Hiding.."
the conscience screaming in his head was quietly getting closer forcing the souls of the forest to work with his evil mind and had the roots of the trees slide around his victim. Indulging in the possibility of finding his daughter the being quietly slid up behind the broken man and probed his mind for his worst fears and memorizing them. The being stretched his limbs and slid his hand over Marks shoulder, while using his other hand he grabbed the mans face and slowly turned his chin facing him. The being sent every possible image of fear into the mans mind, the shock he knew would make the man insane if he wasn't already. The scream Mark exited from his voice echoed off the trees and was full of the fear of not a child but a man quivering in darkness being showed every last one of his fears in a matter of seconds. The being lifted his hand from marks chin and plunged his hand deep into Marks heart to the point where he grabbed marks soul and stripped it from his body… leaving mark dead on the ground.
Mark felt the force of the greater being prob his conscious, leaving him paralyzed. Feeling the ground underneath him move not realizing the roots underneath his feet and hands. Mark heard the soft footsteps of his attacker slowly behind him, he felt a hand slid on his shoulder and felt the hard crushing grip of another hand on his chin pulling him towards his attackers face. He slowly saw the outline of a pure white mask, then he saw more inch by inch and became increasingly terrified as Mark realized there was no mask… Or no face just pure smooth white skin. Feeling shock run threw his spin, he instantly saw every fear he possibly had. every demon, every dark creature, every corner. Mark Instantly fell insane as he lost his mind and remembered nothing but his soul violently ripping thru his body entering the being he never saw.
The being turned Mark's limp body around on the wet leaves and pulled out his wallet. Digging threw it the being noticed a picture. Taking it out he saw a little girl… and knew she was next…
Taking the picture with him the being stood tall and engraved his signature in the nearest tree trunk, then disappeared leaving a black fog in his place.
